by Hafez

This book, 'Sonnets from Hafez and Other Verses by Hafez,' presents a unique blend of translated and original poetry, exploring themes of love, mysticism, and spirituality. The collection features sonnets inspired by the works of the celebrated 14th-century Persian poet Hafez, known for his ardent and unorthodox religious verse. The author, Elizabeth Bridges, aims to convey the essence of Hafez's spirit through her adaptations, rather than providing literal translations. The collection also includes Bridges' original poems, which often share similar themes and evoke the same sense of passion and introspection. This book offers readers a glimpse into the world of Persian poetry and the enduring power of spiritual exploration.
